Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean and nice. The TV didn’t work, but when I called and asked about this, they sent a technician out. He wasn’t able to fix it, but he did try. The staff who checked me in wasn’t very professional or friendly. The walls were thin, and when people came in to the room next to ours, they were loud and upset about something. There weren’t any amenities (pool, breakfast, etc) and the price was very high. The motel is in a very small town, as well, so there are limited resources.

Great option for a remote area
It seemed like it had recent upgrades - vinyl flooring and newer bath. Clean (what they can keep clean with the sand blowing in) and comfortable.

Greta place for the night. Was a bit noisy with other guests hanging around outside but the heating unit drowned them out. Easy check in/out. Good restaurant recommended by front desk staff (Duke's). We couldn't get the TV to work and the office was closed by the time we realized.
